Simon Monjack, Brittany Murphy’s balding, heavy husband (hey, his words, not ours), says he will sue Warner Brothers for triggering a fatal heart attack in Murphy when it dropped her from the sequel to “Happy Feet,” according to the Daily Beast.

Murphy, who died Dec. 20 at 32, was fired from the role of penguin Gloria two weeks before her death. Monjack speculates that Warner Brothers used negative reports from the set of "The Caller," from which Murphy was also fired, as their reason to let her go. Those negative reports? That Monjack was disruptive and drunk on set, which Monjack denies.

A studio executive tells Posner that Monjack may just have been an excuse for producers to replace Murphy with Rachelle Lefevre, a hotter actress (and who herself was recently replaced in the "Twilight" series with Bryce Dallas Howard).

The Los Angeles County coroner’s office has not yet released a cause of death.
Monjack also talked to Posner about his unlikely marriage to Murphy, who was once engaged to Ashton Kutcher. “I was never the right guy to marry Brittany,” he says. “She was supposed to marry a young dashing star with a million-dollar smile. She wasn’t supposed to end up with a balding, heavy guy who doesn’t play by their rules.”

And he denied reports that he was freeloading off Murphy, saying he spent perhaps $4 million on jewelry and clothes on her. “When Brittany died she had 60 pieces of unworn Louis Vuitton. The dog had Louis Vuitton,” he says. “This was all me.”
